Good morning. And having
been made perfect, He became to all those who obey Him the source of eternal
salvation. Because of His suffering and learning obedience He saved us not just
for a while, but for all eternity. As we said before He was designated by God
as a high priest according to the order of Melchizedek, not Aaron. The writer
of Hebrews wanted to talk more about Mel, but they had become dull of hearing;
and so it was hard to explain to them. For though by this time you ought to be
teachers, you have need again for someone to teach you the elementary
principles of the oracles of God, and you have come to need milk and not solid
food. Got expects us to grow - not to stay where we are. Remember that Paul
told Timothy to teach others what he had taught Timothy, and that they should
teach others also. By this time they should be on a solid diet. They did not
get a solid foundation. They needed to tear down everything and start all over
again. For everyone who partakes only of milk is not accustomed to the word of
righteousness, for he is a babe. When you are a baby and not used to eating
solid food, there will be a problem. He must mean then that the word of
righteousness is the solid food. Too many Christians do not want that kind of
solid food. I want the easy (milk) way out. Solid food is for the mature, who
because of practice have their senses trained to discern good and evil. You
have to practice in order to discern between good and evil. Father thank You
that the reader is mature and has his/her senses trained to discern good and
evil.
Unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God
Good morning. While Jesus was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in His name, observing His signs which He was doing. Jesus was not entrusting Himself to them, for He knew all men. Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. It doesn’t say, but I assume it is still during this time of the Passover. This man came to Jesus by night. Rabbi, we know that You have come from God as a teacher; for no one can do the signs that You do unless God is with him. It just said that the people believed in His name because of the signs He was doing; yet it does not say what those signs were. Unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God. That is why unbelievers cannot tell what is of the kingdom of God and what is not – they’re not born again. Nicodemus doesn’t have a clue. How can a man be born when he is old? He cannot enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born, can he? Unless one is born of water and the Spirit ...
